If you don`t want to do terrible trades for the deep sea scale then here is a EASY guide to getting the scale EASY:

Pokemon you`ll need:

Paras

Noibat

Any False Swipe Pokemon (If you do not have  the False Swipe TM)

Joltik

Decidueye

What pokemon to hunt for:

Blue Stripe Basculin

Locations:

Cosmeos Valley (Basculin)

Route 9 (Paras)

Route 13 (Joltik)

Route 14 (Noibat)

Guide:

Alright so once you have obtained Paras Noibat and A Swiper you`ll need to go to cosmoes valley with a good rod you may think it would be better to use a old rod as bascuilin will not use take down but from the many deep sea scales i`ve obtained I believe a good rod is the better rod you`ll also have a chance to get heart scales via luvdisc but going back on track you`ll need to put joltik infront of your party as it having compoud eyes boosts the chances of getting the scale by 15% you`ll  also need to fish for the BLUE striped bascuilin the red stripe gives the incorrect scale but if you do encounter the blue basculin you`ll need to switch into noibat as frisk will determine whether or not the basculin is holding the scale or not and if nothing appears when on switch run from the battle but if text appears saying ``noibat frisked basculin`s DeepSeaScale`` then switch to paras and use spore too put the basculin to sleep and if you have the TM false swipe then your paras should have been taught it if so then use false swipe on basculin until it is at 1 HP (if it wakes up spore it again) and then try to capture it (I recommend Ultra Balls or Net Balls) and then bam! you`ll have the deep sea scale!

I hope this guide helped as I`ve been seeing horrendous trades for the deep sea scale.
